Description

This 2007 analysis of nuclear warfare remains a thought-provoking and contentious work. Originally published to challenge prevailing strategies during the Cold War, it has had a lasting impact on international relations.

Written by Herman Kahn, a military analyst at Rand since 1948, On Thermonuclear War provides insight into how policymakers consider issues of nuclear disarmament and defence. The book explores the history of nuclear weapons, including biological and chemical arms, and their use in conflict.

The strategic concepts outlined in this book continue to be relevant today, offering a nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding nuclear security and international relations.
